Batting Cages

Batting cage equipment for sale: what's in this collection

The batting cage equipment for sale on this page is netting from Gared Sports, offered in two outdoor lengths: a 55' cage net and a 70' cage net, both with 1-3/4" square mesh. Pricing runs from $1,910 to $2,076. Both items are nets, not complete kits, so they are meant to hang from a frame, a cable suspension system, or existing structure already in place.

• Brand carried: Gared Sports (2 products)
• Lengths: 55' and 70'
• Mesh: 1-3/4" square
• Where they go: outdoor cages, open field cages, and indoor tunnels where suspension is already handled
• Price span: $1,910 – $2,076

55' vs. 70': choosing between outdoor batting cages for sale

Length is the first thing to settle, because it sets both the footprint you need and the kind of work you can do inside the cage. A 55' net gives a hitter room for tee work, soft toss, front toss, and short-distance machine reps. A 70' net adds enough distance for a pitching machine or a live arm to work at a more game-like look, which is why longer tunnels are common at high school fields and training facilities.

Both nets sit in a narrow band — $1,910 to $2,076 — so the extra 15 feet is a modest step up in cost. If your space allows it, the longer net is usually the safer long-term choice: you can always hit at shorter distances inside a long cage, but you can't stretch a short one.

Open field cages, indoor tunnels, and how the net hangs

An open field cage is netting suspended over a hitting lane on a field rather than enclosed in a building — the setup most schools and clubs run along a foul line or behind an outfield fence. The net hangs from a steel frame, from cable strung between posts, or from a portable frame that rolls off the field on game day. Because these products are netting only, plan the suspension before you order.

• Frame width and height have to match the net you buy — measure the existing frame, or spec the new one, before choosing a length.
• Cable and turnbuckles carry the load on most permanent open field cages; the net ties or clips to the cable at intervals.
• Anchoring matters outdoors, where wind puts steady load on both netting and frame.
• Ground clearance keeps the bottom edge off dirt and turf, which slows abrasion.
• Indoor use works if you have ceiling structure to hang from and clearance around lights, beams, and sprinklers.

Batting cages for schools, training facilities, and kids

For batting cages for schools, netting is usually the consumable part of the system: frames stay up for years while nets get replaced as the mesh wears. Buying the net on its own, as you can here, keeps that replacement cycle simple and makes it easier for an athletic director to budget a net swap without touching the structure.

If you're specifying the best batting cage for a training facility, or something closer to a professional batting cage layout, the 70' net is the more flexible starting point — it supports machine work, extended front toss, and more than one station along a single tunnel. For a batting cage for kids, a 55' net inside a backyard or youth-field frame leaves plenty of room for tee and toss work at a lower installed cost. In both cases, 1-3/4" square mesh is a standard baseball and softball cage size, with openings small enough to contain batted balls in normal use.

What to check before you buy a batting cage net

• Measure the full run, including space to walk in and out at the hitting end.
• Confirm width and height against your frame or planned suspension — not just length.
• Decide who's pitching: machine, live arm, or toss, since that drives how much distance you actually need.
• Plan the surface under the hitting area — turf, mats, or dirt — plus drainage if the cage is outdoors.
• Budget the rest of the build. Frame, cable, hardware, anchors, screens, and installation labor all sit outside the $1,910 – $2,076 net price.

Not sure which length fits your field, or whether a net will work with a frame you already own? The two Gared Sports nets above are the sports cage netting we currently stock for baseball and softball.
